Portable Django Development Environment
This download includes everything you need to learn the basics of the Django framework and work through the chapters on this site. I have tested this environment on Windows 2000 and Windows XP, and users have reported that it works on Windows Vista.
The download contains a self-extracting archive which results in a folder named 'django'. This folder can then be copied to a USB thumb drive, or to your hard drive.

Chapter One
This download contains the results of our first project, completed in chapter one, a Google map mash-up that displays the locations of crimes in the city of Buffalo, New York. Inspired by chicagocrime.org, this demonstrates the basics of a django-powered website.
If you are too lazy to type in the code from the first chapter, download this file and double-click. Copy the resulting folder to your 'django' folder. You should now have the exact same files and folders that you would have created manually had you followed all of the steps in chapter 1.
